You left out the 9 in the whole equation. The 1st step you had right you just forgot to put +9. 2nd step you are combining the like terms and get 11-26x=-34x+40. Step 3: you are trying to isolate the x on one of the sides. You need to switch the 11 over to the 40 and get 29. Move -34x over to -26x and get 8x. Step 4 all you are doing in dividing 8 from both sides and get 5.
Answer:
x < 5
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x +8 < 18
Subtract 8 from each side
2x+8-8 < 18 -8
2x< 10
Divide by 2
2x/2 < 10/2
x < 5
<em><u>Your answer is 12,17,15,13 if you take out the 9 your median will be 14.</u></em>

- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx+b, with m = slope and b = y-intercept
So perpendicular lines have <u>slopes that are negative reciprocals</u> to each other, but firstly we need to find the slope of the original equation. The easiest method to find it is to convert this standard form into slope-intercept.
Firstly, subtract 3x on both sides of the equation: 
Next, divide both sides by -4 and your slope-intercept form of the original equation is 
Now looking at this equation, we see that the slope is 3/4. Now since our new line is perpendicular, this means that <em>its slope is -4/3.</em>
Now that we have the slope, plug that into the m variable and plug in (-4,-5) into the x and y coordinates to solve for the b variable as such:

<u>In short, your new equation is y = -4/3x - 10 1/3.</u>
